Not able to boot vmdk file in vmware exported from google cloud
I wanted to test vmdk files exported from google cloud with my vmware workstation 16 pro, however it doesn't seem to work, a cursor just blinks on the screen and there is no progress after that.
- To export a vmdk file from Google cloud, I followed below steps:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/export-image#exporting_an_image
- And to boot from vmdk in vmware workstation, following steps were referred.
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2010196
Please help to get this resolved.
Solution
This seems to be a disk fragment issue while exporting a vmdk file. Hence it didn't work in vmware. I created a fresh vm instance in gcp and did an export, then it worked.
